The United States Patent & Trademark Office Database has a Service Mark application filed last week by Bethesda Softworks for "Fallout," with the following explanation: "Entertainment services in the nature of an on-going television program set in a post-nuclear apocalyptic world." This may explain the recent tease by the voice actor who plays Three Dog saying "There may be more of the Dog coming!" Or it may be something else. Or nothing. Thanks Ausir via The Vault.

Have any of you guys ever watched Jeremiah or Falling Skies? In both of those shows they travel a lot from one area to another among decaying ruins of the city and so on. Jeremiah I honestly think is the closest TV show so far to Fallout as it had similar plots such as a vault-esque area "thunder mountain" and factions like the valhalla sector that were sort like the enclave.

Creating a fallout style/post-apocalyptic show is all about the atmosphere of the sets. That can be done on a TV show budget, as I mentioned with Jeremiah.
